A US special envoy has retracted remarks he made regarding the Golan Heights, which appeared to contradict the established US policy under former President Donald Trump. The envoy initially stated that Israel "still" occupies the territory, a comment that aligned with UN resolutions but diverged from Trump's 2019 recognition of Israeli sovereignty. He later clarified that his statement was intended to describe the historical status of the Golan Heights, not to endorse the UN's position, reaffirming that US policy remains unchanged. AI
